Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:33:43 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-467092A lot of things turned me away from the 360 like the Metro dash and ads, Kinect, the lack of exclusives and in-house develpoment, the pennies ‘reward’ they gave you for your loyalty,the inability to use apps unless you have a gold sub, and the fact the PS+ was such great value for money. Sony’s offering was so much better than the Microsoft xbox.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:29:53 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-467091I will be staying away from the Xbox this time too. Gonna buy the new PS4 for certain.

I can’t see anything to get excited and to shout about on the new gen Xbox… Halo’s pretty much dry. Gears of War is also dry and most other interesting stuff is cross platform. Not only that integrated Kinnect and the subs… nah!.. I’m out MS.

Both machines will focus on games and services equally. They would be stupid not to.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 17:28:21 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-467045And I bet most gamers will go for the next Xbox and and the xbox itself will focus on simple games like fifa,car games,fps COD and others and small games …..Sony will get angry at this ….their goal is to bring new ways to play and bring more varied innovative games only to find out the competition is not even competing with them and still dominating them

I don’t think they’re blind to the fact that people would rather have a swiss army knife than a “dumb” tool.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:21:12 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-467018If you are ONLY a gamer a PS4 might be the right choice. Unfortunately I don’t think there are many only-gaming customers left, or at least not many that want a console to excel in one thing…

(I did edit that to make more sense.)

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:33:45 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-466982well important is TO KEEP those gold sub members. i am not so sure if they are doing enough for that. in fact i think the opposite is true. i can only speak for myself but my gold just expired this month. no plan to upgrade anytime soon. why should i ms? to watch some ads? i can do that for free elsewhere. i feel ripped off by them and in my book that´s not a job well done if you want to sell subs.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:11:28 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-466972I think you can go online, but you can’t update anything.

My neighbour has a chipped 360, and he can’t play any games released after a certain date.

iirc, as soon as you try to update these 360’s officially, they brick.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:07:13 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-466969@5 But wouldn’t that cut you off from online? At least that’s what I heard.

I had a chipped box for quite a few years, but I eventually replaced it because I didn’t want to get busted for going online.

The first two stopped working, the third one is (still working) in the UK, and the fourth is here in Saudi with me.

I’m not sure if MS really care whether the 360’s that they’ve sold are still working or not… They’re probably happier with the fact that they have the ability to sell so many units.

Even if they sold 76 million to 55 million customers, it stills shows that their product is desirable enough to keep selling, and that people want it.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:55:33 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-466960@3 76 million isn’t even that much if you compare it to how much the PS2 sold in a much shorter timespan.

But publishers are also pushing more merchandise on the 360, and to me that wouldn’t make sense if the numbers were somehow inflated.

If so, then it’s safe to say that those owners are buying considerably more games than anyone else.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:52:05 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=356167#comment-466959I and a lot of people I know bought replacement consoles out of pocket. When I recieved my refurbed replacement, I stuck it in the bedroom and opened a second account for my wife, so we could watch netflix.

Replacement Xbox’s are NOT factored in to official Microsoft sales figures.

And while some people would have bought a second console, that would have been after a three year warranty had passed.

Right, because you know RRoD never happened and people have never for whatever reason purchase a second system. No sir, each and every one of those systems sold is still working flawlessly and represents a unique and individual consumer.
